Optimist Junior Golf: fun, rewarding, affordable!

2012 OPTIMIST champions
Marcella Pranovia and Joey Lane

Chris Hill, Chair, Optimist International Junior Golf Championships for the PNW District invites every club to get involved with the OPTIMIST junior golf tournament this year. He sends the following message:

Dear Optimist Club Presidents,We are continuing to
build our PNW Optimist Junior Golf qualifier tournament. This tournament allows local youth to compete
for a place in the Optimist International Junior Golf Championships in Palm
Beach Gardens Florida. We are currently
allowing only one participant in each age category to move on to the
championships in Florida.

I’d like to build
our local qualifier tournament, currently held at Meriwether National Golf
Course in Hillsboro Oregon, to at least 72 participants. In years prior, we’ve had 35-45. This is where I need your help. I’d like to have on member from your club
market our qualifier tournament to high schools in your community. This would mean either emailing or dropping
off a flyer to high school golf coaches.
In addition, if your club would like to sponsor a local boy or girl, you
could pay for their entry fee into the Qualifier tournament ($75).

Due to the size and magnitude of the
International competition, this opportunity could change the path of a young
person. Please consider selecting a
volunteer to spread the word about our upcoming junior golf tournament. Visit www.optimist.org/golf for more details
on both the local qualifier and the International championships. Thank you in advance.
